ABSTRACT
The hero has learned what he needs to overcome his challenge, and feels more hopeful and optimistic about his own agency to cope with the changes he faces. This proves to the child, and the adult, what their resilience looks and feels like. Sandplay is hands-on psychological work, and is an adjunct to talk therapy. It is a powerful therapeutic method that facilitates the psyche's natural capacity for healing. The process of creative imagination in sandplay provides a method of connecting the world of ego consciousness with the deepest realms of the psyche, the archetypal, and transpersonal worlds. This results in a more natural balance developing between the ego-orientated intellect and the true Self. There is a re-aligning and balancing of the masculine and feminine aspects of the psyche giving the client a more holistic and balanced world view.
